BERRIES have released the official video for their power-pop tune ‘Narrow Tracks’, taken from their self-titled sophomore album, BERRIES, which arrived in the autumn of last year.
In their new video for ‘Narrow Tracks’, Berries splice fuzzy live footage together with shots of lead vocalist Holly Carter ripping up jigsaws, devouring books backwards, and walking the pavement like a tightrope in her crimson Converse. Each shot reflects the indecision and doubt that runs throughout the song’s lyrics, with many playing in reverse or at an unnatural speed.
“Doubts tingle with the facts, like passing trains on narrow tracks,” the band sing as the video cuts to live shots of the band performing at their BBC Introducing session earlier this year. The new release also acts as a lyric video, layering handwriting-style text over each shot.
The band explain the themes of the song:
“’Narrow Tracks’ is a song for anyone who struggles with OCD. It speaks of those tingling doubts, the constant stream of dark thoughts and the longing to be able to do the simplest of tasks, but ultimately it’s an optimistic track. It’s about fighting back and finding strength to keep those thoughts at bay.”
The video arrives just ahead of BERRIES’ support slot with Xtra Mile Recordings label mate FRANK TURNER & THE SLEEPING SOULS. The band will join Turner and co. at their Wolverhampton Wulfrun Halls show on Tuesday, 18th February.
This March, BERRIES will also embark upon a run of shows in celebration of International Women’s Day. The three-date tour kicks off at Bodega in Nottingham on 5th March, before BERRIES take their jagged rock sound to Birkenhead and London in the days following. The full list of live dates can be found below.
